CHAPTER I.  REPORTING ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION INFORMATION

1.	ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROGRAM REPORTING.

a.	Heads of Headquarters Elements and Heads of Field Elements, for matters under 
their purview, must:

(1)	Ensure that the information needed to meet the requirements of DOE 
O 450.1, Environmental Protection Program, is reported annually 
considering annual guidance provided by the Assistant Secretary for 
Environment, Safety and Health as follows:

(a)	Information on site progress in implementing Environmental 
Managements Systems (EMSs).

(b)	Information on site progress in reducing or eliminating the 
generation of waste, the release of pollutants to the environment, 
and the use of Class I ozone-depleting substances (ODS).  Site 
reporting must be accomplished utilizing the Web-based Pollution 
Prevention Performance Tracking and Reporting System.

(c)	Information on site procurement of recycled-content materials and 
environmentally preferable products and services.  Site reporting 
must be accomplished utilizing the Web-based Pollution 
Prevention Performance Tracking and Reporting System.

(d)	Information on pollution prevention award nominations from sites, 
and nominations selected as “best in class” by heads of Primary 
DOE Organizations.  The Assistant Secretary for Environment, 
Safety and Health will submit the selected “best in class” pollution 
prevention awards to the White House “Closing the Circle” award 
competition.  Site reporting must be accomplished utilizing the 
Web-based Pollution Prevention Performance Tracking and 
Reporting System.

2.	ANNUAL SITE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT.

a.	Heads of Field Elements will prepare an integrated Annual Site Environmental 
Report for each calendar year.  This report must present summary environmental 
data in order to:

(1)	Characterize site environmental management performance.  Include data 
on effluent releases, environmental monitoring, and estimated radiological 
doses to the public from releases of radioactive material at DOE sites.

(2)	Summarize environmental occurrences and responses reported during the 
calendar year (CY).

(3)	Confirm compliance with environmental standards and requirements.

(4)	Highlight significant programs and efforts.  Include environmental 
performance indicators and/or performance measures programs.  The 
breadth and detail of this reporting should reflect the size and extent of 
programs at a particular site.
The Annual Site Environmental Report for the calendar year will be completed 
and made available to the public by October 1 of the following year and will be 
submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health at that 
time.

b.	The Office of Air, Water, and Radiation Protection Policy and Guidance will 
continue to issue annual guidance to all DOE Headquarters and field elements 
regarding the preparation of the Annual Site Environmental Reports.

3.	NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (NEPA) REPORTING. 

a.	Heads of Headquarters and Field Elements with responsibility for NEPA matters, 
will (subject to the exclusion of the Naval Nuclear Propulsion and the special 
provisions for the National Nuclear Security Administration described in DOE 
O 451.1B):

(1)	Submit an annual report to the Office of NEPA Policy and Compliance on 
progress in implementing, and the effectiveness of, any commitment for 
environmental impact mitigation that is essential to render the impacts of a 
proposed action not significant or that is made in a record of decision.  
The report may be submitted on the mitigation action plan anniversary or 
as part of a combined report (for example, as part of the annual NEPA 
planning summary) for multiple plans until mitigation has been completed.

(2)	Submit an annual NEPA planning summary to the Assistant Secretary for 
Environment, Safety and Health by January 31 of each year and make it 
available to the public.  The current version of DOE O 451.1B, National 
Environmental Policy Act Compliance Program, describes the contents of 
the annual NEPA planning summary.

CHAPTER II.  REPORTING OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND 
HEALTH INFORMATION

1.	INJURY AND ILLNESS RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING.  It is DOE policy 
that environmental, safety, and health reports be complete and readily available for 
authorized dissemination outside the cleared community.  When accidents or incidents 
occur in Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI) sensitive facilities and/or 
involve classified operations, the local classification officer will be consulted to ensure 
that such reports do not inadvertently disclose classified or unclassified controlled 
information (such as UCNI or Official Use Only information.)  If classification concerns 
appear to inhibit completely forthright reporting, the DOE offices of Classified and 
Controlled Information Review and Information Classification and Control Policy will 
provide assistance in creating complete yet unclassified reports.  If this cannot be 
accomplished, the reports will be annotated to indicate the existence, identification and 
file location of any classified addendum. 

a.	Work-Related Fatalities, Injuries, and Illnesses.  Heads of Headquarters Elements 
and Heads of Field Elements will ensure that DOE contractors report work-related 
fatalities, injuries, and illnesses occurring among DOE contractor/subcontractor 
employees and arising out of work primarily performed at DOE-owned or DOE-
leased facilities under their direction.  Reports will be submitted to the Assistant 
Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health according to procedures provided 
in paragraphs 3a through 3g of the CRD to this Manual.  Periodic, at least twice 
per year, quality checks will be performed to verify that the information recorded 
and reported to DOE, through the Computerized Accident/Incident Reporting 
System, regarding work related injuries and illnesses to DOE contractor 
employees is thorough, accurate, and consistent with information contained in 
local records. 
Heads of Field Elements and the Director for the Office of Management, Budget 
and Evaluation (for Headquarters, including NNSA Headquarters) will record 
occupational fatalities, injuries, and illnesses occurring among Federal employees 
arising out of work primarily performed at DOE-owned or DOE-leased facilities.  
Reports of work-related fatalities, injuries, and illnesses to DOE employees will 
comply with the record keeping and reporting requirements contained in the 
current version of Title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 1960, 
Subpart I, with modifications that follow in paragraphs 1a(1) through 1a(5) and 1c 
through 1f, below.

(1)	Record all recordable occupational injuries and illnesses experienced by 
DOE employees on the Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, 
OSHA Form No. 300, and complete an annual summary of the 
information contained on OSHA Form No. 300 using the Summary of 
Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, OSHA Form No. 300A (see 
Appendix B).

(2)	Record and report all DOE employee recordable work-related injuries and 
illnesses on the electronic form DOE F 5484.3, Individual 
Accident/Incident Report, in lieu of OSHA Form No. 301, Injury and 
Illness Incident Report. 

Reports must be submitted to the Computerized Accident/Incident 
Reporting System (CAIRS) by either method identified in paragraph 1c 
below to satisfy this requirement.  (See Appendix C for a list of data 
elements included in the form.)  Access to DOE F 5484.3 data will be in 
accordance with paragraph 1f(3) of this chapter.  Reports will be 
submitted in accordance with paragraphs 1c below.

(3)	Report total employee hours worked on the electronic form DOE 
F 5484.4, Tabulation of Work-Hours.  (See Appendix D for a list of data 
elements included in the form.)  Reports will be submitted in accordance 
with paragraph 1d below.  Access to the DOE F 5484.4 data will be in 
accordance with paragraph 1f(3)of this chapter.

(4)	Report work-related incidents that involve a fatality or hospitalization of 
three or more DOE employees, in accordance with the requirements of 
29 CFR 1960.70 to the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and 
Health through the designated Federal Employees Occupational Safety 
and Health Program (FEOSH) Manager.

(5)	Perform periodic, at least quarterly, quality checks of the information 
recorded and reported to CAIRS on work related injuries and illnesses to 
Federal employees to verify that the information is thorough, accurate, and 
consistent with information contained in local records.

(1)	Data Collection.  The Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and 
Health is responsible for maintaining a centralized operational database of 
reports submitted in accordance with paragraphs 1c and 1d below.  The 
current system, the Computerized Accident/Incident Reporting System 
(CAIRS), compiles case information from accident reports submitted by 
DOE, contractor, and subcontractor employees.  The database collects 
information electronically using either file transfer features in CAIRS 
Bulk Upload Processing (CBUP) or the direct data entry form features in 
CAIRS Direct Data Entry (CDDE).  A list of data elements to be included 
in the CAIRS database is provided in Appendix C. 

(2)	Periodic Summary of Accident Data.  DOE-wide statistical summary 
information taken from reports submitted in accordance with 
paragraphs 1c and 1d below will be available through CAIRS quarterly 
summary reports.

c.	Report Submission—DOE F 5484.3.  Effective 180 days following the approval of 
DOE M 231.1-1A, DOE F 5484.3 will be submitted electronically only, using

and posted annually.  (See requirements in 29 CFR 1960.69.)

f.	Supplemental Requirements Regarding Accident/Incident Reports.  Heads of 
Headquarters Elements and Heads of Field Elements will ensure that accident 
reports and related records for DOE and DOE contractors are retained, 
maintained, and accessible in accordance with the following requirements.

(1)	Retention of Injury/Illness Records and Reports.  Heads of Headquarters 
Elements and Heads of Field Elements will ensure that DOE and DOE 
contractors retain personal injury and illness records pursuant to DOE 
O 200.1, Information Management Program, dated 9-30-96.  DOE 
elements will ensure that DOE site/facility management contractors, upon 
termination of contracts for work being performed for DOE, will submit 
injury and illness records to the site/facility management contractor 
organization that will assume OSH responsibilities for the facility.  
Additionally, Heads of Headquarters Elements and Heads of Field 
Elements will ensure that DOE site/facility management contractors 
assuming OSH responsibilities for work being performed for DOE, will 
retain previous operating contractors’ accident records.

(2)	Maintenance of Injury and Illness Reports.  Heads of Headquarters 
Elements and Heads of Field Elements will maintain injury and illness 
records pursuant to 29 CFR 1960.67, 1960.68, and 1960.69.  Heads of 
Headquarters Elements and Heads of Field Elements will ensure that DOE 
site/facility management contractors assuming OSH responsibilities for 
work being performed for DOE will maintain previous operating 
contractors’ accident records.

(3)	Access to Accident Records and Reports.

(a)	An employee, former employee, and/or his/her representatives 
have the right to limited access of the OSHA Form No. 300 that 
contains the employee’s name. 

(b)	Access is limited according to the requirements of the Freedom of 
Information Act (FOIA).  In accordance with requirements 
contained in section 5 U.S.C.§ 552(b)(6) of the FOIA, access to 
information on any log maintained for DOE or by DOE or DOE 
contractors, will be restricted to information that does not 
constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.  An 
employee whose name does not appear on a log will be limited to 
information that does not identify any injured or ill employees, and 
will not be provided access to the names of the injured or ill 
employees.  An employee, former employee, and/or authorized 
representatives will have access to DOE F 5484.3 data that 
contains the employee’s name as the injured or ill worker.  
Additional information on employee rights of access to these forms 
is provided in 29 CFR subpart 1960.71.

(c)	Records listed in 29 CFR 1904.4 and 1904.5 (or the DOE 
equivalent of these records) will be made available for inspection 
and copying by any Department of Energy representative for the 
purpose of conducting oversight assessments or for statistical 
compilation.

(d)	Records required to be maintained under the provisions of 29 CFR 
subparts 1960.67, 1960.68, and 1960.69 will be made available 
upon request to the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health

Elements and Heads of Field Elements will ensure that DOE and DOE 
site/facility management contractors update OSHA Form No. 300 
pursuant to 29 CFR 1960.73 and 29 CFR 1904.33.  Each quarter, for at 
least one year from the date of the injury/illness, DOE elements must 
update each DOE F 5484.3 that includes lost work time (either days away 
from work or days restricted/transferred) for a DOE employee and ensure
that contractors update this information for contractor employees.  DOE 
F 5484.3 should be updated to indicate changes in lost work time or 
changes in the description or outcome of the case.

(5)	Interpretation of Reporting Requirements.  For additional information or 
interpretation of occupational injury and illness reporting requirements 
contained in this Manual, contact the Office of Corporate Performance 
Assessment. 

2.	ANNUAL FIRE PROTECTION SUMMARY.  Organizations responsible for 
maintaining property under stewardship of DOE and the Administrator, NNSA, will seek 
concurrence with their appropriate Head of Field Element and submit specifically 
formatted fire protection program CY summary reports to the Assistant Secretary for 
Environment, Safety and Health by April 30 of the following year.  The Assistant 
Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health will provide reporting organizations and 
DOE Field Elements with a computer-based application for submitting formatted 
summaries and will maintain a database reporting system that compiles reports submitted 
in accordance with the reporting elements described in Appendix F.  The Assistant 
Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health will produce a CY summary of Fire 
Protection Programs for the Department and will make available a database summary of 
all reporting elements of DOE contractors and DOE Field Elements for trending data 
supplemental to the Environment, Safety and Health annual summary report.

3.	REPORTING INFORMATION FOR EPIDEMIOLOGIC ANALYSES—EXCESS INJURIES AND ILLNESSES.

a.	Heads of Headquarters Elements and Heads of Field Elements will notify the 
Assistant Secretary of Environment, Safety and Health of suspected illness or 
injury excesses that require epidemiologic investigation.  In this context, 
suspected excess means the perception that an unusually high number of cases 
may be occurring among a group of workers.  Epidemiologic analyses can help 
determine whether suspected illness or injury excesses are greater than expected 
and are associated with working conditions.

b.	Any worker, individual, or group (for example, safety and health staff, 
supervisors, or employee representatives) can identify suspected illness or injury 
excesses.

c.	The Assistant Secretary of Environment, Safety and Health, who is responsible 
for all Departmental health studies of human populations, directs the 
investigations of suspected excesses through staff of the Office of Health Studies.

d.	Reporting organizations participate in epidemiologic investigation(s), which will 
determine the number of affected individuals, their medical diagnoses, and their 
hazard exposures.  The investigation may involve medical tests, work place 
surveys, and reviews of personnel, medical, and exposure records.


4.	REPORTING INFORMATION FOR EPIDEMIOLOGIC ANALYSES—OSH STUDIES.

a.	The September 2000 memorandum of understanding between DOE and the 
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), which supersedes the 
December 1990 memorandum, reassigned management responsibility for a range 
of epidemiologic research projects and related activities addressing worker and 
community health to the DHHS Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC) constituent agencies, including the National Institute for Occupational 
Safety and Health, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and 
the National Center for Environmental Health.  Much of the research focuses on 
illness, injury, and death to determine whether exposure to ionizing radiation and 
chemicals has had impact on worker health.  These agencies have become users of 
data collected originally to fulfill OSHA requirements and collectors of additional 
research data.

b.	Heads of Field Elements will provide CDC officials, their contractors, and 
grantees access to the DOE facilities, workers, information, and data needed to 
conduct these studies.  The investigators will comply with Privacy Act and 
security requirements.

5.	ANNUAL REPORT TO THE SECRETARY OF ENERGY.  The Assistant Secretary for 
Environment, Safety and Health shall submit an annual report to the Secretary describing 
the status and adequacy of DOE, including NNSA, and contractor performance of their 
occupational safety and health responsibilities.  The annual report for the calendar year 
will be submitted to the Secretary by May of the following year.

6.	ANNUAL FEDERAL EMPLOYEE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH 
REPORT.  The Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Office of Health is designated by the 
Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health to prepare and submit an annual 
fiscal year report to the Department of Labor on the DOE occupational safety and health 
program.  The report will contain such information as the Secretary of Labor prescribes. 
[See 10 CFR 1960.74.]

CHAPTER III.  REPORTING IONIZING RADIATION EXPOSURE INFORMATION

1.	EXPOSURE REPORTS TO THE RADIATION EXPOSURE MONITORING SYSTEM 
(REMS) REPOSITORY.

a.	Annual Individual Radiation Exposure Records.

(1)	Heads of Headquarters Elements and Heads of Field Elements will report 
annual radiation exposure records required by 10 CFR 835.702(a) and (b) 
to the REMS repository by March 31 for the preceding monitoring year.  
The records should include exposure records for special individuals as 
described in paragraph 1.b.(1) of this chapter.

(2)	Revisions to radiation exposure records for monitoring periods beginning 
on or after January 1, 1989, will be reported to the REMS repository.  
Revised records for prior monitoring years will be submitted annually by 
March 31.  However, if the revised dose record results in a dose exceeding 
regulatory dose limits defined in 10 CFR 835.202, revised records will be 
submitted within 30 days of the date that the dose record is revised.  
Revised records should be submitted to the REMS repository in a separate 
file, but in the same format as annual records.  The transmittal 
documentation should note that the enclosed records are revised.

b.	Radiation Exposure Records for Special Individuals.

(1)	A special individual is a person employed by DOE Headquarters, a 
contractor supporting DOE Headquarters or Field Office activities, a Defense 
Nuclear Facilities Safety Board employee or contractor, or an International 
Atomic Energy Agency inspector who visits a DOE or DOE contractor site 
or facility to conduct Department-related business.  Radiation exposure data 
pertaining to special individuals will be reported to the REMS repository 
within 30 days after the determination of the dosimetry.

(2)	Each DOE or DOE contractor employee or a special individual who visits 
in an official capacity, a radiological site outside of the DOE shall arrange 
to have all pertinent occupational radiological exposure data to his or her 
employer within 30 days after determination of the dosimetry.

(3)	Heads of Headquarters Elements, Heads of Field Elements, and 
contractors shall ensure that such procedures exist and are effective in 
support of paragraph 1.b.(2) above.

c.	Report Format.  All radiation exposure reports of records collected during and 
after CY 2005 and sent to the REMS repository as noted in paragraphs 1.a. and 
1.b. must be submitted in electronic format and prepared in accordance with

CONTRACTOR REQUIREMENTS DOCUMENT 
DOE M 231.1-1A, ENVIRONMENT, SAFETY, AND HEALTH REPORTING

Regardless of the performer of the work, contractors with the CRD incorporated into their 
contracts are responsible for compliance with the requirements of the CRD.  Affected contractors 
also are responsible for flowing down the requirements of the CRD to subcontracts at any tier to 
the extent necessary to ensure the contractor’s compliance with the requirements.  In doing so, 
the contractor must not unnecessarily or imprudently flow down requirements to subcontracts.  
That is the contractor must both ensure that it and its subcontractors comply with the 
requirements of this CRD and only incur costs that would be incurred by a prudent person in the 
conduct of competitive business.  The contractor must develop site-wide and facility-wide 
procedures, protocols, or other methods to meet the reporting requirements in this CRD as 
indicated below.

1.	ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROGRAM REPORTING.  Ensure that 
environmental, safety, and health reports are complete and readily available for 
authorized dissemination outside the cleared community.  Ensure that when accidents or 
incidents occur in Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI) sensitive 
facilities and/or involve classified operations, the local classification officer is consulted 
to ensure that such reports do not inadvertently disclose classified or unclassified 
controlled information (such as UCNI or Official Use Only information.)  If classification 
concerns appear to inhibit completely forthright reporting, the DOE offices of Classified 
and Controlled Information Review and Information Classification and Control Policy 
will provide assistance in creating complete yet unclassified reports.  If this cannot be 
accomplished, the reports must be annotated to indicate the existence, identification and 
file location of any classified addendum. 
Ensure the information described below is reported annually, considering annual 
guidance provided by the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health on the 
Web-based Pollution Prevention Tracking and Reporting System (PPTRS), unless 
otherwise indicated.  (These reporting requirements relate to activities carried out or 
conducted under the contractor’s ISMS and the CRD to DOE O 450.1, Environmental 
Protection Program.)

a.	Information on site progress in implementing Environmental Managements 
Systems (EMSs) shall be reported to the Cognizant Secretarial Officer and the 
Assistant Secretary of Environment, Safety and Health, as appropriate.

b.	Information on site progress in reducing or eliminating the generation of waste, 
the release of pollutants to the environment, and the use of Class I 
ozone-depleting substances (ODS).  

c.	Information on site procurement of recycled-content materials and 
environmentally preferable products and services.  

d.	Information on pollution prevention award nominations from sites, and 
nominations selected as “best in class” by Heads of Headquarters Elements and 
Heads of Field Elements1.  The Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and 
Health will submit the selected “best in class” pollution prevention awards to the 
White House “Closing the Circle” award competition.

2.	ANNUAL SITE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT.  Provide all necessary assistance, 
including partial or full preparation of the Annual Site Environmental Report (ASER), to 
the Head of the Field Element, as directed and appropriate, in meeting the annual site 
environmental reporting requirement to DOE headquarters each October 1st.

a.	Ensure that information needed to prepare an integrated Annual Site 
Environmental Report for each calendar year is provided to the Head of the Field 
Element.  This information will include summary environmental data in order to:

(1)	Characterize site environmental management performance.  Include data 
on effluent releases, environmental monitoring, and estimated radiological 
doses to the public from releases of radioactive material at DOE sites.

(2)	Summarize environmental occurrences and responses reported during the 
calendar year (CY).

(3)	Confirm compliance with environmental standards and requirements.

(4)	Highlight significant programs and efforts.  Include environmental 
performance indicators and/or performance measures programs.  The 
breadth and detail of this reporting should reflect the size and extent of 
programs at a particular site.
The Annual Site Environmental Report for the calendar year will be completed 
and made available to the public by October 1 of the following year, and an 
informational copy will be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Environment, 
Safety and Health at that time.

b.	Ensure adherence to the reporting schedule and guidance provided by the Office 
of Environmental Policy and Guidance regarding reporting information for the 
Annual Site Environmental Reports.

3.	INJURY AND ILLNESS RECORDKEEPING AND REPORTING.  Ensure that 
environmental, safety, and health reports are complete and readily available for 
authorized dissemination outside the cleared community.  Ensure that when accidents or 
incidents occur in Unclassified Controlled Nuclear Information (UCNI) sensitive
facilities and/or involve classified operations, the local classification officer is consulted 
to ensure that such reports do not inadvertently disclose classified or unclassified 
controlled information (such as UCNI or Official Use Only information.)  If classification 
concerns appear to inhibit completely forthright reporting, the DOE offices of Classified 
and Controlled Information Review and Information Classification and Control Policy 
will provide assistance in creating complete yet unclassified reports.  If this cannot be 
accomplished, the reports must be annotated to indicate the existence, identification and 
file location of any classified addendum. 

a.	At a facility or site where DOE is exercising its authority to regulate worker 
safety and health (rather than have the Occupational Safety and Health 
Administration directly regulate the facility or site) the contractor is responsible 
for keeping records for work-related fatalities, injuries and illnesses.  Unless 
otherwise directed in this CRD, the contractor must ensure that records are kept as 
directed in Title 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1904.4 through 1904.11, 
1904.29 through 1904.32, 1904.44 and 1904.46.

b.	Ensure that the following recording and reporting requirements are followed:

(1)	Record all recordable work-related contractor employee fatalities, injuries, 
and illnesses on Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 
Form No. 300, Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses, and complete 
an annual summary of the information contained on OSHA Form No. 300 
using OSHA Form No. 300A, Summary of Work-Related Injuries and 
Illnesses [See Appendix B to DOE M 231.1-1A].

(2)	Record and report all recordable work-related contractor employee 
fatalities, injuries and illnesses on the form DOE F 5484.3, Individual 
Accident/Incident Report, in lieu of the OSHA Form No. 301, Injury and 
Illness Incident Report.  Reports must be submitted to the Computerized 
Accident/Incident Reporting System (CAIRS).  Either method identified 
in paragraph 3d below satisfies this requirement.  (See Appendix C for a 
list of data elements included in the form.)  Access requirements for DOE 
F 5484.3 data is described in paragraph 3g below.  Submission and posting 
of reports is described in 3d and 3f below.

(3)	Report employees’ total hours worked on DOE F 5484.4, Tabulation of 
Work-Hours.  Access requirements for DOE F 5484.3 data is described in 
paragraph 3g below.  Submission of reports is described in 3e below.

(4)	Conduct periodic, at least quarterly, quality checks of the record keeping 
and reporting program to verify that the information recorded and reported 
is thorough, accurate, and consistent with information contained in local 
records.

c.	The contractor must ensure that reports for select subcontractors, those who 
employ more than 10 employees on the DOE work being performed, are recorded 
in accordance with 29 CFR 1904.4 through 1904.11, 1904.30, 1904.31, and 
1904.46.  Additionally, reports are not required for accidents involving 
subcontractor employees whose work is limited to transient activities and does not 
include an onsite office and for whom direction/oversight is not provided by DOE 
or a DOE primary contractor (e.g., copy machine repair, express mail delivery, 
telephone installation/repair, vending machine service).  Reports for subcontractor 
employees are reported separately for each subcontractor organization in the same 
manner as 3b(2) and 3b(3) above for contractor employees, unless consolidation 
of data is approved by the CAIRS Point of Contact for the Head of the 
Headquarters Element or their designated CAIRS POC at the DOE field 
organization.  Procedures for adding or deleting organization codes to 
accommodate changes in  reporting organizations are contained in Appendix E to 
DOE M 231.1-1A.  

d.	Ensure that new reports (DOE F 5484.3) are submitted at least twice per month 
for receipt on or before the 15th of the month and the last working day of the 
month.  Initial reports will include the actual work time lost as of the date the 
report is submitted.  Revisions to lost work time will be submitted quarterly until 
the case is closed.  Quarterly revisions for lost work time and any other 
information that requires revising information initially reported, will be submitted 
for receipt by the 10th of the month following the end of the calendar quarter, i.e., 
April 10th, July 10th, October 10th, and January 10th.  Prior to the transition to 
require electronic reporting only, legible copies of completed report forms may be 
mailed.  Mailed report forms should be addressed to the CAIRS Data Coordinator, 
U.S. Department of Energy, EH-33/Bldg. 270 CC, 1000 Independence Ave., 
S.W., Washington, DC 20585-0270.  Effective 180 days following the addition of 
this requirement to the contract, DOE F 5484.3 will be submitted electronically 
only, using either CAIRS Bulk Upload Processing or by entering information into 
the electronic form using CAIRS Direct Data Entry. 

e.	Ensure that quarterly work-hours are submitted by the 10th of the month 
following the end of the quarter (e.g., first quarter CY reports are due April 10).  
Prior to the transition to require electronic reporting only, legible copies of 
completed report forms (DOE F 5484.4) may be mailed.  Mailed report forms 
should be addressed to the CAIRS Data Coordinator, U.S. Department of Energy, 
EH-33/Bldg. 270 CC, 1000 Independence Ave., S.W., Washington, DC 
20585-0270.  Effective 180 days following the addition of this requirement to the 
contract, DOE F 5484.4 will be submitted electronically only, by entering 
information into the electronic form using CAIRS Direct Data Entry.  Additional 
information about accessing CAIRS and electronic report submission is included 
in Appendix E of DOE M 231.1-1A and on the Internet at the R&R References 
and Resources Web page (http://tis.eh.doe.gov/cairs/refs.html.). 

f.	Ensure that the OSHA Form No. 300A is completed, certified, and posted in the 
workplace annually.  (See requirements in 29 CFR 1904.29, 1904.32, and 
1904.44.)

g.	Accident and related records must be retained, maintained and accessible as 
follows:

(1)	A contractor newly assuming occupational safety and health 
responsibilities for DOE work being performed must accept and maintain 
already existing records of a prior contractor.  A contractor with an 
expiring or terminating contract must transfer records to the facilities 
management or follow-on contractor. [See record retention requirements 
in 29 CFR 1904.33.] 

(2)	The contractor must ensure that access to accident records is as follows: 

(a)	An employee, former employee, and/or his/her representatives 
have the right to limited access of the OSHA Form No. 300 that 
contains the employee’s name. 

(b)	Access is subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 
requirements and restrictions. [See 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(6).  Access to 
information on any log maintained by a DOE contractor as 
described in this CRD will be restricted to information that does 
not constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.  An 
employee whose name does not appear on a log will be limited to 
accessing information that does not identify any injured or ill 
employees, and will not be provided access to the names of the 
injured or ill employees.  An employee, former employee, and/or 
an authorized representative will have access to DOE F 5484.3 
data that contains the employee’s name.  

(c)	Records listed in 29 CFR 1904.4 and 1904.5 (or the DOE 
equivalent of these records) must be made available for inspection 
and copying by any Department of Energy representative for the 
purpose of conducting oversight assessments or for statistical 
compilation.

(3)	Ensure that OSHA Form No. 300 is updated [see 29 CFR 1904.33].  Each 
quarter for at least one year from the date of the injury/illness, ensure that 
each DOE F 5484.3 that includes lost work time (either days away from 
work or days restricted/transferred) is updated to indicate changes in lost 
work time or changes in the description or outcome of the case.

(4)	Ensure that individuals tasked with occupational injury and illness 
recording and reporting responsibilities are appropriately trained to 
accomplish the recording and reporting requirements of this CRD and are 
informed to contact the Office of Corporate Performance Assessment for 
additional information and assistance in interpretation of requirements 
contained in this CRD.

4.	ANNUAL FIRE PROTECTION SUMMARY.  Ensure that the computer-based 
application provided by the Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health is 
utilized for submitting formatted annual summaries of the fire protection information by 
April 30 of the following year [see Appendix F of DOE M 231.1-1A].

5.	EPIDEMILOGIC ANALYSES—EXCESS INJURIES AND ILLNESSES.  Ensure that 
the following reporting requirements for excessive injuries and illnesses are followed:

a.	Notify the Head of the Field Element of suspected excessive illnesses or injuries 
that require epidemiologic investigation.  Excessive illness or injury means the 
perception that an unusually high number of cases may be occurring among a 
group of workers.  Epidemiologic analyses can help determine whether suspected 
illness or injury excesses are greater than expected and are associated with 
working conditions.

b.	Ensure that employees are aware that any worker, individual, or group (for 
example, safety and health staff, supervisors, or employee representatives) can 
identify suspected illness or injury excesses.

6.	EPIDEMILOGIC ANALYSES—OSH STUDIES.  The contractor must ensure DOE 
authorized investigators, including investigators from the Department of Health and 
Human Services (DHHS) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are provided 
access to DOE facilities, workers, (contractors and subcontractors), information, and data 
needed for epidemiologic research projects and related activities addressing worker and 
community health.  Research may require medical test, work place surveys, and review of 
personnel, medical and exposure records. All investigators are required to comply with 
Privacy Act and security requirements.

7.	RADIATION EXPOSURE REPORTS TO THE RADIATION EXPOSURE 
MONITORING SYSTEM (REMS) REPOSITORY.  Ensure that the following 
requirements for radiation exposure monitoring reports are followed:

a.	Annual Individual Radiation Exposure Records.

(1)	DOE contractors will report annual radiation exposure records required by 
10 CFR 835.702(a) and (b) to the REMS repository by March 31 for the 
preceding monitoring year.  The records should include exposure records 
for special individuals as described in paragraph 1.b.(1) of this chapter.

(2)	Revisions to radiation exposure records for monitoring periods beginning 
on or after January 1, 1989, will be reported to the REMS repository.  
Revised records for prior monitoring years will be submitted annually by 
March 31.  However, if the revised dose record results in a dose exceeding 
regulatory dose limits defined in 10 CFR 835.202, revised records will be 
submitted within 30 days of the date that the dose record is revised.  
Revised records should be submitted to the REMS repository in a separate 
file, but in the same format as annual records.  The transmittal 
documentation should note that the enclosed records are revised.

b.	Radiation Exposure Records for Special Individuals.

(1)	A special individual is a person employed by DOE Headquarters, a 
contractor supporting DOE Headquarters or Field Office activities, a 
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board employee or contractor, or an 
International Atomic Energy Agency inspector who visits a DOE or DOE 
contractor site or facility to conduct Department-related business.  
Radiation exposure data pertaining to special individuals will be reported 
to the REMS repository within 30 days after the determination of the 
dosimetry.

(2)	Each DOE contractor employee or a special individual who visits in an 
official capacity, a radiological site outside of the DOE shall arrange to 
have all pertinent occupational radiological exposure data to his or her 
employer within 30 days after determination of the dosimetry.

(3)	DOE contractors shall ensure that such procedures exist and are effective 
in support of paragraph 1.b.(2) above.

c.	Report Format.  All radiation exposure reports sent to the REMS repository as 
noted in paragraphs 1.a. and 1.b. must be submitted in electronic format and must 
be prepared in accordance with Appendix G of this Manual.

d.	Exposure Reports to Individuals.  Reports to individuals must be prepared in 
accordance with 10 CFR 835.801.

APPENDIX E.  ACCESSING CAIRS AND OBTAINING ORGANIZATION CODES

1.	ACCESSING CAIRS.

The Computerized Accident/Incident Reporting System (CAIRS) offers electronic access 
to summary information on accidents reported by DOE and DOE contractor organization.

a.	Registration.

CAIRS is a Government computer system and, as such, has security requirements 
that must be followed.  These security requirements are mandated by DOE 
O 205.1, Department of Energy Cyber Security Management Program, 
dated 3-21-03.  Some of the information contained in CAIRS is restricted and is 
to be accessed by authorized users for official Government business only.

Registered users of CAIRS agree to adhere to the security requirements specified 
on the registration form.  Individuals interested in registering to become CAIRS 
users can obtain a copy of the registration form from the ES&H Helpline at (800) 
473-4375.

b.	System Requirements.  The following are the system requirements for using 
CAIRS.  You must have—

*	an Internet connection (either direct or via an ISP); an Ethernet connection 
to DOE's Business Network, or a modem capable of communicating at 
speeds of 28,800 BPS or faster;

*	a Pentium or faster computer with sufficient memory to support a Web 
browser such as Netscape or Internet Explorer (As with all Windows 
applications, a faster PC and/or additional memory will greatly enhance 
system performance.

*	Netscape 4.0 or higher or Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher in order to 
support features such as tables, Secure Socket Layer (SSL-2) protocol, and 
Active Server Pages (ASP).

*	Windows 95 or higher. 

2.	OBTAINING ORGANIZATION CODES.

An organization code is a 7-character identifier assigned for the purpose of CAIRS 
reporting and for managing records in the database.  Each part of the code has a specific 
meaning.  The first two characters specify the field organization (such as Idaho 
Operations).  The third character specifies an area office (if there are any under the field 
office).  The fourth through sixth characters specify the DOE or DOE contractor 
organization.  The seventh character represents an operation type such as production, 
research, government, etc.

Changes in organization codes must be approved by the CAIRS Point of Contact (POC) 
for the Cognizant Secretarial Officer or their designated CAIRS Point of Contact at the 
DOE field organization and the CAIRS Program Manager.  Requests for changes in 
organization code should be initiated through the ES&H Helpline at (800) 473-4375 or 
by sending e-mail to CAIRS support at esh-infocenter@eh.doe.gov.

3.	ELECTRONIC REPORTING.

The Computerized Accident/Incident Reporting System (CAIRS) allows two methods of 
electronically submitting reports, CAIRS Direct Data Entry (CDDE) and CAIRS Bulk 
Upload Processing (CBUP).  Access to the electronic reporting features in CAIRS is 
controlled.  CDDE is an internet-based tool that takes advantage of the modern browser 
technology currently being used to navigate the World Wide Web (WWW).  It allows 
users capabilities to enter new cases, edit previously saved cases and retrieving relevant 
data using features consistent with the current Windows environments found on most of 
today’s personal computers.  CBUP allows organizations with local computer systems 
that contain information needed to complete accident reports, capabilities to extract the 
required data fields from the local computer and transfer a data file containing this 
information to CAIRS.  To register to begin electronic reporting or for additional 
information contact the ES&H Helpline at (800) 473-4375 or by sending e-mail to 
CAIRS support at esh-infocenter@eh.doe.gov.  The CAIRS reference documents listed 
below are available online at:  http://tis.eh.doe.gov/cairs/refs.html.

APPENDIX F.  ANNUAL FIRE PROTECTION SUMMARY

1.	SUMMARY OF FIRE LOSS DAMAGE INCIDENTS.

Fire loss includes property damage or loss sustained as a consequence of a fire.  Fire loss 
is deemed reportable based upon the fire department incident report.  If the event results 
in a dispatch, fire department response, and classification as a fire event, then the loss is 
considered to be reportable.

Each fire loss event will include separate entries or fields for the following information.  
NOTE: Reporting elements may submit electronic copies of incident logs, provided that 
such information complies with all required reporting attributes of the National Fire 
Incident Reporting System (NFIRS). 	

a.	Date, location, dollar amount of loss, and incident description.  The event 
description should include remedial actions taken to prevent event recurrence.  
Criteria for estimating damage costs are provided as paragraphs 8 and 9 below of 
this Appendix. 	

b.	Incidents, classified as—

*	Fire/Smoke [Building],
*	Fire/Smoke [Brush],

(1)	Fire 				_______
(2)	HAZMAT Response		_______
(3)	Other Emergency		_______
(4)	Non-Emergency		_______
(5)	Medical			_______
(6)	Mutual Aid Responses	_______

Identify and classify all fire department response events.  For this reason, each response 
should be recorded in a single fire department incident report from the first due or 
incident commander’s perspective.  

The fire response category relates to working fires on the site that were either 
extinguished or verified as a fire event by the responding incident commander.  
HAZMAT response relates non-fire hazardous material incidents.  The other emergency 
category is intended for all other emergencies in which firefighting apparatus was 
dispatched, including offsite mutual aid response, or support for a medical response.

The non-emergency category relates to situations where the initial response was 
considered an emergency, but was later verified as a non-emergency by the incident 
commander.  This includes inadvertent system actuation.  Malicious alarms, or offsite 
mutual aid that was cancelled en route.  Medical response includes any response in which 
an ambulance was dispatched for the sole purpose of a medical emergency. 

b.	Major equipment purchases.  Describe type of equipment and purchase price.

c.	Notable response descriptions not already included in the report.

6.	RECURRING FIRE PROTECTION PROGRAM COSTS.

(4)	Emergency medical response costs
(5)	Training program costs

b.	Inspection and testing program costs by others.

c.	Fire protection engineering.
The cost of an inspection and testing program by others is intended to identify work 
provided by other departments, such as a maintenance section or outside contractor.  Do 
not include costs of mobile apparatus or other major equipment purchases.  Provide 
additional explanation for significant deviations in recurring costs between calendar 
years.

7.	PERFORMANCE EVALUATION.

a.	Reporting elements should identify the most recent date, performance issues 
assessed, and outcome reached by the DOE Federal field element or DOE 
authority having jurisdiction on fire protection program performance.

8.	CRITERIA FOR COST ESTIMATING.

a.	Estimating fire damage costs for DOE facilities and programs is essential to 
categorize necessary investigations and quantify financial loss to the Government 
for either direct reimbursement or analytical purposes.  When estimating loss, it is 
expected that reporting elements make every attempt to calculate a credible 
replacement value and to grade such estimate on the financial impact it will have 
upon the Government.  For example, a room-and-contents fire involving standard 
office products may not require the use of a detailed cost estimation and may be 
calculated according to the institutional knowledge of the reporting authority.  
However, a total facility loss or losses exceeding $10,000 in replacement value 
may need to employ estimation techniques described in paragraph 9a below.

b.	There are qualified people in DOE and/or contractor organizations who are 
trained and experienced in cost estimating.  These individuals should follow the 
procedures in DOE G 430.1-1.  When estimating costs from fire loss events, these 
individuals should be involved to identify replacement values using available site 
data sources such as the Management Analysis Reporting System, the Property 
Information Database System, and the Facility Information Management System 
and may include applying an appropriate cost index ratio (e.g., the producer price 
index) or data published in the periodical, Engineering News Record.

c.	Text in paragraph 9 below provides guidance for determining loses based on the 
value of property that is destroyed or otherwise impaired by a fire.

9.	CRITERIA FOR LOSS ESTIMATION.

a.	Loss estimation includes the following:

(1)	Damage or loss of facilities, inventories, and associated equipment as a 
result of a fire or a fire suppression system actuation.

(2)	All estimated or actual costs to restore DOE property to a reasonable 
approximation of pre-accident conditions.  If an accident involves property 
that has been lost, completely destroyed, or contaminated to a degree 
precluding economically justifiable recovery, estimates shall be based on 
cost for actual replacement and installation of comparable equipment, 
devices, or materials (including nuclear materials) as well as clean-up and 
disposal cost for the damaged facility.  Such costs should include credit 
for any salvage value associated with the loss.

(3)	In the case of unused, obsolete, or excess building space, equipment, or 
materials that are not going to be replaced, the cost estimate of the market 
value at time of accident shall be used.

(4)	Estimated costs for restoring to a reasonable degree to pre-accident 
condition, without improvement, all partially lost or damaged DOE 
property.  Include replacement cost for all DOE-owned supplies and costs 
for decontamination operations where applicable.

(5)	Estimated costs for reprocessing and reclaiming partially destroyed and 
damaged materials.  Where applicable, costs for damage resulting from 
firefighting (e.g., water and smoke damage) should be included.

(6)	All post-incident cleanup expenses both inside and outside the facility 
(e.g., cleanup of hazardous materials or radioactive contamination 
resulting from fires, or fire suppression system actuation).
(7)	All costs for recharging fire suppression systems (gaseous, chemical and 
foam agents) and decontamination or replacement of fire department 
equipment.

(8)	Costs for damage caused by DOE operations to privately owned property.

(9)	Costs for restoration of land and land improvements (sidewalks, roads, 
etc.) that were damaged as a result of an accident.

(10)	Costs for outside specialists or organizations hired to mitigate losses and 
costs for non-standard labor hours (i.e., above the amount normally 
worked by the employee) for onsite personnel to restore the property to 
pre accident condition

(11)	Any lost revenue experienced as a result of the accident.  Examples 
include income-producing processes, such as power generating and 
transmission facilities or timber sales, whose loss would cause a reduction 
in payments to the Federal Government.

(12)	Estimated damage losses to Government or private wetlands, grasslands, 
and forest as a result of a wild land fire originating on DOE lands.  
Restoration costs should also be included along with actual costs to 
suppress the event.

(13)	Labor hours expended by investigative and/or administrative personnel as 
a result of the incident.

(14)	Labor cost for personnel evacuated during a fire including any stand-down 
costs associated with: investigations, employee relocations, or restoration 
activities.

b.	Loss estimation excludes the following:

(1)	Expenses resulting solely from loss of the use or occupancy of facilities 
affected by the fire, including lost production and research time, unless it 
becomes necessary to obtain special facilities (e.g., temporary structures) 
to maintain the facilities' use or occupancy.

(2)	All post-accident expenses paid by non-DOE sources (e.g., expenses 
covered by private insurance).

(3)	Expenses to bring property to modern standards.

(4)	Normal wear.

(5)	Damage to privately owned property caused by other than DOE 
operations.

(6)	Labor hours for onsite firefighters during their normal work shifts.

terminated with a carriage return and 
line feed at column 346 with one space 
entered for the comment.

4.	OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE DATA SUMMARY EXPLANATION.

Policies and procedures should be in place to ensure that duplicate monitoring results for 
an individual are not reported to the repository by more than one organization.

All dose equivalents will be in units of millirem, rounded to the nearest whole number 
and right justified within the appropriate field.  Monitoring should be provided in 
accordance with the guidance provided in DOE G 441.1-4 External Dosimetry Program 
Guide for Use with Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 835, Occupational 
Radiation Protection, dated 3-17-99.

If monitoring was not provided for a specific dose value, do not enter a value.  Leave the 
field blank, padded with spaces, and enter NM in the corresponding measurement code 
field.

Monitoring should be provided in accordance with the guidance provided in DOE 
G 441.1-3, Internal Dosimetry Program Guide for Use with Title 10, Code of Federal 
Regulations, Part 835, Occupational Radiation Program, dated 3-17-99.

Dose records for more than one facility are required only where radiation monitoring is 
performed and recorded for specific facilities.  If only site-wide monitoring is provided, 
only one facility record code should be included in the submittal to represent the entire 
site.  For individuals receiving dose at multiple facilities where the fraction of dose 
received at each facility code cannot be determined, the entire dose should be attributed 
to the facility where the majority of dose was received.  If the facility where the majority 
of dose was received cannot be determined, the facility code where the individual spent 
the majority of the monitoring period should be used.

Comment records are required only if additional information is needed to assess the 
record. 

Reporting of fetal exposure data is required for a declared pregnant worker.  Fetal 
exposure data should be included in the submittal for the monitoring year that 
encompasses the pregnancy end date.

5.	BIOASSAY AND INTAKE SUMMARY FILE EXPLANATION.

The following files must be submitted as separate ASCII files containing annual summary 
records for bioassay and intake information.  These files should be submitted on the same 
media as the annual submittal as shown in Tables G-2 and G-3 respectively.  The Bioassay 
Summary file should contain one record for each facility.  The Intake Summary file should 
contain one record for each facility, radionuclide, and intake mode.

Bioassay Summary records are required to be reported when any individual participates in 
a bioassay program or in vivo monitoring during the monitoring year.

Intake Summary records are required to be reported when any individual has received a 
dose from intakes during the monitoring year.

7.	FACILITY PHASE OF OPERATION CODES.

The phase of operation will be recorded for the calendar year for which the phase of 
operation is most appropriate.  For facilities that transition between phases during a year, 
the phase that is appropriate for the majority of the calendar year should be recorded.  
Each DOE facility falls into one of the Phase of Operations shown in Table G-5.  In 
general, each phase follows in sequential order, although a facility may forgo one or more 
phases or may not follow the order listed here.

Meaning
Definition
MV
Measured Value
Indicates that measurements were performed for the 
specific individual to determine the dose for that 
individual.  This measurement code would apply in all 
cases where individual external dosimetry was used or 
where the individual participated in a bioassay program 
(including whole body or lung count) that was used to 
determine the individual's internal dose.
PV
Preliminary Value
Indicates that this measurement is an interim estimation 
and expects to be updated in a subsequent revision and 
submittal of this dose record.  This measurement code 
should be used when the final dosimetry or bioassay 
results are not yet available but the submittal is due.
CV
Calculated Value
Indicates the value given was calculated from indirect 
measurements such as monitoring performed on other 
workers or determined from a time-motion study or other 
analysis such as air sample for internal exposures.  The 
value given represents the final results of the calculation, 
but the value was not measured directly for the monitored 
individual.  A comment record may be provided to explain 
the reason and method of calculation.
NM
Not Monitored
Dosimetry was not provided and was not required to be 
provided.
ND
Not Detectable
Monitoring was performed but the results were below the 
detection limit of the measurement instrumentation.
